Everyone has mental health & just like physical health it changes from day to day & many things can affect our mental/emotional health.
It is estimated that 3/4 of medically diagnosable mental health conditions emerge by the age of 24.
Emotional difficulties such as anxiety & depression have become the most prevalent type of mental health condition experienced by 5-19 year olds.
At Samaritans, privacy is at the heart of what they do.
As a member-led organisation, there are great opportunities to get involved with the running of Eight Bells from cooking lunch to being part of the management board. We believe in empowering our members, this creates a great atmosphere within the centre; people feel part of a community. People aren’t told what to do here, rather they are involved in deciding how things are done.
